How Does BMW 1 Series M Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your BMW 1 Series M’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by BMW. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your system is aligned to the measurements that BMW specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2011 BMW 1 Series M, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match BMW’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get BMW 1 Series M Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your BMW 1 Series M alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2011 BMW 1 Series M: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 1 Series M dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My BMW 1 Series M?

Let’s talk numbers: BMW 1 Series M wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
